Scott Pruden's Lifestyles ' i Hugo's wrath was Godzilla of Charleston Every so often, I'll be cruising through life at a nice, easy pace and something will suddenly come down on my head like a ton of bricks. That's happened to me a lot more lately. Thp firct ti m/? \i;qc a pnnnlo rS A Iiv iUJV UllltV TTUO u vvupiv vyi weeks ago when I was strolling across The Horseshoe on the way back to my apartment, Skinnyboy Manor, and I noticed a large bird of prey ripping the life out of one of our cute and cuddly little squirrels. But then I thought, hey, that huge aviary monster was probably pretty hungry to have to cruise into Columbia to get some dinner. It's a good thing we have all these overpopulating little rodents running around getting good and fat to serve as lean cuisine on the paw for Mr. Hawk over there. Gooo old Momma Nature takes care of her own. Then came Hurricane Hugo, the biggest, meanest tropical depression to ever get depressed, and it i j: * r o was ucauiug rigiu iui uie ouuui Carolina coast. That really made me think. Remember when you were a kid and you'd spend all Saturday afternoon watching Godzilla movies on T.V.? Unless of course you were one of those nerdy kids who was playing chess and reading Neitche, you faithfully followed the exploits of Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and the rest of that crazy gargantuan mutant gang. The moral of the movies (if you chose to look for one) was simple. Play with atomic weapons, and you're rewarded for your efforts with a giant lizard creature with nuclear powered breath stomping on Tokyo. After an appropriate amount of destruction of civilian and military property, Godzilla would head back to the sea to return the next time someone toyed with the bomb. Of course, you never saw the Japanese doctors and lawyers sqbbing and shaking their heads over their lost investments, their ruined financial plans, or the Beachfront Management Act. They were runnine their little lees off with everv one else, screaming "Godzirra!" and trying to get the hell out of Dodge. Of course, next time around Tokyo would be right back to normal, all ready to get stomped See LIFESTYLES page 5 CAROLINA PROGRAM UNION DR. HENRY A.
